The sentiment is that JS coercion is so bad that explicit coercion programming behaviors, linters, Typescript, and adding parsing safeguard libraries (io-ts, Zod, Joi, json schema, etc) have become so commonplace that people don't really let implicit coercion occur very often, and thus it doesn't matter most of the time. Whenever I kick off a new npm init, it's always followed by installing typescript, eslint, and usually Zod before I even write the first line of code. If double equals was removed from ECMAScript, I would likely never notice.
